In commemoration of 20,000 members, I have written a little article.
As you all know, Webkinz Insider has hit 20,000 members over the past few days, and Justin has asked me to make a little article about the history of WI.
Let me start you off with a basic summary of WI.This site made its “big” debut March 23'rd, 2007, but did not become popular until around May 2007. The site made its big 100 member milestone on April 6'th, 2007, and 500'th member on April 17’th, which is remarkable the progress made in 12 days. At , July 25'th, Webkinz Insider made it's transition to be a "Big Board", which means the website has more than 500,000 posts. Justin, our site owner was the first member, with Kevin, a previous administrator being the second. Now let me take you on a little WI milestone tour;
Here's a follow-up on our breaking news a month ago, with the first-ever pictures of the newest Webkinz to be introduced.
We've received direct confirmation that Ganz has announced a Webkinz Seal, Webkinz Turtle and Webkinz Penguin! We've heard rumors for months, and even seen fake pictures of the Webkinz Penguin, but this is the first official confirmation that we've received on any of these pets!
In addition, Ganz has introduced a Lil Kinz Leopard in order to expand the current Lil Kinz line. The "official release dates" for nearly all of the new Webkinz and Lil Kinz are as follows:
I can't believe Arte came through with the Webkinz Humvees...
I still can't believe this beauty is mine.
Not a scratch on her and all shiny. She has that new car smell. I need to gas this Humvee up and drive around town. I want to show it off. I wonder who else bought them?
As I am driving past Ms. Birdy's Adoption Center, I see there are a lot of new webkinz about to be adopted. Ms. Birdy is out there greeting them and giving them a security code.
"Hi Ms. Birdy!"
"Oh, Hi Merthyn."
I pull into the parking lot to talk to her.
The latest newz in Webkinz World this morning is that the St. Bernard has officially been retired! If you haven't already added one to your collection, now would be a great time to pick one up before they are gone! As with all retired styles, if you have one already registered on your Webkinz World account it will still work properly. We certainly will miss the St. Bernard and his awesome fireplace, but we look forward to the release of the upcoming Lil Kinz Bernard.
Well, the team here at Webkinz Insider has gotten their hands on some pictures of many of the new releases of Webkinz, Lil Kinz and Webkinz accessories through the first part of 2008 thanks to an anonymous user!!!!
